Last Saturday Coroner Nance, in CON-
pany with Sheriff Bolt and others, went
to the grave of Andy Hillhouse, colored,
and exhumed his body, for the purpose OF
examining it and seeing whether he had
been shot, as had been reported. DR..
Duckworth made thorough examina-
ton of the body, and could find no marks
of violence or wounds upon it. How the
report that Hillhouse had been shot by
Constable Smith originated, is mystery,
as that gentleman never attempted his ar
rest.

We learn from the Orange, Texas, Tfi.
bune of the death of DR.. 8. M. Brown, who
several years ago was well known in this
County. He was killed by being run
over by an engine on the railroad track.
He was. brother of DR.. E. M. Brown,

DIR. s. M. Brown left this County at an
early age and located in Mississippi, where
he studied medicine. he afterwards
graduated at Louisville, KY. He return
ed to this County, with his family in 1860,
he having married during his stay in Mis-
sissippi. In 1851 he went to the front in
Orr's Regiment to fight the battles of his
country, and was assigned to the duty OF
field surgeon, and afterwards became a
regular army surgeon. After.the war he
returned to his native home, but soon
sought his fortune out West, locating at
Jasper, Texas, and afterwards at Orange
City, where he resided at the time Of his
fatal accident. The account of his death
La as follows: "a little girl had lost her
hat under the long bridge, and he was in
the act Of helping her to find it, when the
engine came upon him and bore him
down; and though by no means an alb.
sent-minded man, so full of sympathy
Yas he for the anxious child, and so in"
tent were his thoughts upon relieving the
distressed little one, he did not hear the
appro sch of his DOOM"
